Been here in Fanfiction.net for a while, posting several stories which have popped into my mind time to time. I tend to focus my writing on details outside of the main canon of the established stories, either focusing on crack pairings or an AU storyline which gives me greater freedom, all the while trying my best to keep everyone In-Character (IC) and the plot faithful to the story's original feel.

When I write a crack pairing, I focus on keeping them as IC as I can, if only to show that this pairing could actually work in canon if only the circumstance where different. So, if you have any particular pairing from any of the fandoms I've written in that you believe should get a shot, PM me about it. If I can, I'll make something with them.

Lately, however, I've been experimenting with stories, that while still outside of canon, stick a little closer to the established "status-quo" than my previous attempts. Only time will tell if this is positive or negative news, but it at least assures that I'll be here a little bit more often.

Finally, I won't abandon any of my stories, not matter how long it's been since I've updated. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

T.A.R.A. (The Author Rants About):

This is a section that I will include at the end of all my chapters / one-shots, in which I will talk about where I stand against certain arguments, such as pairings, plot devises, fanfics, OCs or the like. Agree / Disagree? Send me a review or comment to let me know!

T.A.R.T. (The Author Responds To):

A new section, where I respond to all the reviews posted during the previous chapter. While I try to respond to my reviews via PM, Anonymous reviews cannot be responded to, so this is where this comes in. A way to say "Thanks!". For obvious reasons, this section won't be included in "Ask A Baka" chapters.

A. Us, Romance & A Substitute School? - Chapter 04: Take That Dirty Picture!- As Kouta and Aiko work together for a common goal, a few secrets about Kouta's works are exposed. Also, just what is his "masterpiece"?

E. What's So Funny 'Bout Dreams, Love, and Your Ninja Way? - Chapter 01: Graduation Exam- The bell test is not as you remember it; as Naruto and Hinata find themselves facing death as something stalks them through the dark forest.

F. Nouvelle - Chapter 06: ???- The first part of the Shokugeki between Erina and Akira begins, can Soma get his head into the game; or is their more at stake than even he realizes?

I'll try to reply to any and all comments, so please feel free to review or comment!

Nakiri Erina was hated by her father. She decided to work hard and become one of the greatest chef. Her goal is to surpass everyone and prove to everyone that she is suitable to take over the heritage, especially him.

After his defeat in the Autumn Elections, Soma seems to be in a bit of slump. Taking it upon herself to help him out, Megumi invites Soma to accompany her and visit her hometown for a festival. From a meddling parent to an all out food war, this wasn't exactly how Megumi had envisioned her trip with Soma. Minor manga spoilers/set before Stagiaire arc.

Or, the Great Queen. It's August 1892, a year after the Zodiac Case, and Elizabeth and Ciel are still hanging on tenterhooks. But when Ran Mao crashes in through Lizzy's window one night to tell her Lau has been kidnapped, things get a whole lot messier. Ave atque vale. LizzyCiel. Sequel to Domina Esques.

Or, The Lady Knight. At sixteen, Lizzy Middleford has been on a tour of the continent for a year. Now, she's a different, sharper person than before...and she's determined to take her place at Ciel's side, whether he likes it or not. All hail the Queen's Paladin. Eventual CielLizzy. Cover art by cielking-art on Tumblr. COMPLETE, with sequel upcoming. May be expanded.

She had been wounded beyond all repair, she had lost the one closest to her. Now she was going to get her revenge by taking the person closest to that person’s heart. Utadase Utau/Tadase Curious? Take a peek inside! Prologue/Chapter 1 up!

After Akira Hayama makes a serious attempt at dethroning Erina Nakiri from her seat in the Elite Ten; Tootsuki's ice-queen finds herself forced to accept the help of none other than Soma Yukihira. "Hey, Nakiri. Is that tongue of yours really that good?" ((Soma/Erina, Ryou/Alice, Akira/Jun, among others))

In a new academy, since Fumizuki's system is down, the gang is the new gossip: Akihisa is losing both Mizuki and Minami to other guys! Shouko has given up on Yuuji! Yuuko's jealous that Hideyoshi is the new school heartthrob! Kouta is Aiko's pet/slave on a leash! ((Rewritten & Updated - Current Ch: Hide/Yuuko))

(Bruce / Selina) Gotham City will become their playground. As Selina takes Bruce on her heists, at his insistence of learning of the "criminal mind", the two start to learn just how dangerous the thrill can be. ((05: The Brave & The Bold)) - Previously Titled: "SIRENS"

It's time for the tests at the Academy; and you are the one who will ask the questions! Ask any of our protagonists, antagonists, whatever anything you want and they'll answer if they wish to pass the grade! ((Latest Chapter: Teach Us Akihisa-sensei!))

Months after his death, she's beginning to feel like she's being watched… by her recently deceased ex-fiancé. A horrific romance based on "what-if?" Ciel Phantomhive returned as a demon, in a contract with someone else, but renewed interests in elements from his previous life… mostly Elizabeth Middleford. Ciel/Lizzy; plus Ciel/Lizzy/Grey triangle.

AU. The Hyuuga Clan will not accept Hinata as the heiress; the village will not accept Naruto as a human being. As Hinata attempts to help a boy she doesn't understand why everyone despises; the Rookie 9 are thrust upon a world were "ninja" and "killer" are synonyms, and hope is all but lost. A more realistic reimagining/"remake" of Naruto, not a darkfic per say. NaruHina SasuSaku

The first time is always the hardest. The first year of marriage is no exception. In the wake of calamity, the Queen assigns Ciel Phantomhive a mission of cease and desist against a new organization. Said organization is funded by the Trancy household; whose head takes an unhealthy interest in Elizabeth. Ciel/Lizzy/Alois –mangaverse–
